Episode 52: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Season 2, Oct 30, 2019, 07:00 AM
This might be the team's favorite one yet. This week The Horrorble People's Podcast sticks to its bi-annual commitment to all things Halloween by exploring the most divisive film in the franchise: 1982's HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH.
Anthony and Alix take a look back to a time when the Halloween franchise experimented with becoming an anthology series with Tommy Lee Wallace's directorial debut, and how it almost destroyed the franchise. Why did original screenwriter Nigel Kneale sue to get his named removed from the film? What was the special clause in Stacy Nelkin's contract that made shooting her sex scene more "technical?" Perhaps most importantly: How did Universal drop the ball and what happens to you in Hollywood when you almost destroy a franchise?
Find out about all this, and some talk of tech horror and Frankie Munez, by tuning in!
Also, how about considering giving us 5 stars every time Tom Atkin's character shows signs of his crippling alcoholism (it's a lot)?
